Code 14 Driver

The organisation is recruiting a Code 14 Driver for its Bethal operation. The role forms part of a wider logistics jobs portfolio across Mpumalanga.

What This Role Involves

Equally, the organisation is investing in its Bethal operation, and this Code 14 Driver position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the logistics jobs function and contribute to the wider Mpumalanga business.

Importantly, the organisation keeps reporting lines clean and expectations realistic. Performance is measured against a small, agreed set of metrics, and there are no surprise yardsticks for the Code 14 Driver taking on this position.

Beyond that, the role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Bethal also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.

A Typical Day

Your day kicks off in the yard or at the dock, checking schedules, briefing your team and lining up the day’s priorities. You move between receiving, picking, dispatch and the WMS, keeping a close eye on accuracy and time slots. There are constant conversations — with drivers, controllers, customers and the warehouse floor — and the better you communicate, the smoother things run. By the end of the shift, the racks are tidy, the trucks are out, and the next inbound load is already on its way.

Equally, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Mpumalanga operations throw up the unexpected.

No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Bethal.

About the Team

Notably, the team you will be working with is fast-paced and energetic. Things move quickly across the Bethal office, and the people who thrive here are the ones who plan ahead, communicate openly and pick up the slack when Mpumalanga operations get busy.

Collaboration is the default working mode. Whether picking up a quick query or working through a complex project, you will find colleagues willing to lean in and help.

Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.
